Hartley Lands Fishery venue rules

The whole complex has a maximum of two rods. Nets, slings and mats must arrive completely dry and then be disinfected in the fishery dips. Barbless hooks are compulsory, while bait boats, braided main line, leadcore, plastic hook baits and nuts are prohibited. Required landing-net and unhooking-mat sizes vary by lake. A carp-care kit and valid rod licence are required, and fish must be returned without unnecessary retention.
